[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids who are sick all the time (less than 40 days a year now, but my older child missed over 50 days of kindergarten), and we've gotten workups with immunologists at multiple hospitals, full genetic workups, diagnoses with autoimmune disease, treatment for said disease,  mold testing and treatment, cleaning of the our ducts, etc. and one of them still gets sick all the time (the other gets sick often, but not insanely often anymore). It's a lot, OP, and my heart goes out to you and your son. And, sometimes you do everything and you're kid may still be sick all the time. The biggest thing we did, which may not be an economic possibility for you, was to build our lives assuming a kid would be home sick two days a week. Once it's the expectation, it's no longer a horrible surprise each time. We also go to the pediatrician for every illness, and at least half the time we are given a diagnosis that involves antibiotics. She also helps reassure me that we are doing everything we can possibly do. If you're in the DC area, Children's National has pediatricians who just provide primary care for kids who are not so healthy, maybe you can get in with them? I hear they are great. [/quote]

So how many times per year is your kid taking antibiotics? That can cause its own problems [/quote]
